There's a fresh bagel in here somewhere. We couldn't find it.
Summary
Neutron is a desktop AI assistant that provides proactive, preemptive help across all desktop applications. Unlike traditional AI tools that require user prompts, Neutron overlays AI functionality directly onto existing apps like Chrome, Word, Slack, and PDFs, offering assistance before users even ask for it. The tool features a simple 'Tab to complete' functionality inspired by Cursor, allowing users to double-tap Tab for instant AI assistance without switching between applications or dealing with multiple API sign-ins.
